do you really build flying things...

i found this while searching for uk.comp.homebuilt... do you guys
really build flying things... i mean, seriously, can you ride in
something you built and trust its safety, or do you just build toy
remote controlled stuff...

We build 'em AND fly in 'em!!

Of course, doesn't everybody?

i mean, seriously, can you ride in

That is a question that you have to answer for yourself.

or do you just build toy
remote controlled stuff...

That too.

Different strokes. We build things that we fly in. Some bigger and
faster, some smaller and slower. The biggest ones carry 6-8 people,
and speeds get up to 350 mph. The smallest are single place, 40-60
mph. A few unpowered things too - sailplanes, or gliders. Some are
into RC as well.

I'd rather trust the safety of something that I built than something
built by people that drink beer with lunch and go home at 5pm. Like
the damned Chrystler I just bought.

I wouldn't be so sure. It wasn't such a long time ago that I had the
same astonishment at the idea. Remember, our public education system
and popular culture in general is now designed to weed out and destroy
anything resembling initiative or self dependance. If it ain't store
bought, it's redneck. 12 years of such meticulous brainwashing is VERY
hard to overcome.

Good on Ya Ernest, that was exactly what I was going to say!
It wasn't long ago, after being brainwashed like you say, that I thought
f**k it, I'm going to build a helicopter!
And it's been the best learning experience so far.
One day, I'm going to be flying a homebuilt machine, and the whole journey
is consuming and exciting.

I hope he's not a troll, 'cause he can learn alot from this group.

Cam.

i'm not trolling, just curious... jumping off a balcony sounds
dangerous enough to me, let alone flying a homebuilt flying machine...

do you have to have some pro experience or can anyone build such a
thingie...

Check out : http://www.eaa.org/ Mike. It's a site devoted to the EAA
organization that oversee's the world of homebuilding. And
incidently, runs the worlds biggest airshow every year. That's bigger
than any commercial airshow in the world, and it started with guys
building homebuilt airplanes.
